India News: Stating that it was well within its powers to probe the Adarsh Housing Society scam, the CBI has informed the Bombay High Court that it did not require consent of the Maharashtra government to investigate individual cases as the state through an order passed in 1989 had allowed the agency to exercise its power and jurisdiction in the state.
This was revealed in an affidavit filed by CBI in reply to the applications made by the state government and Adarsh society challenging CBI probe in the case on the ground that neither the Maharashtra government nor the high court had given consent to the agency to take over investigation.
